Cock rings to avoid

I would advise avoiding Jelly cock rings at all costs. Jelly Sex Toys can damage both partners’ healths.

Putting on a cock ring

From the beginning, you should choose the right size for your cock. Large cock rings will slip or fall off from your penis. It will not serve its purpose. 

On the other hand, too tight or small rings will be impossible to wear or very hard to remove from the penis. Also, tight rings can stop blood flow entirely and you don’t want it as it may damage your penis blood vessels. End of story. Well maybe not but better if you choose the correct size. 

Also choosing a stretchy cock ring will help the beginners a lot as it will not hurt your testicles while wearing the ring.

It is best to wear cock ring before you get an erection. The ring will fit over the shaft at the base of the penis. You can use lube to make putting on and removing easier.

If you want to use a condom, it is OK. Condom won’t make cock ring less effective. First, put the condom on and roll it to the end. Then wear your penis ring. Now be sure that cock ring does not stick to the cock ring as the friction or rubbing has a risk of tearing. 

Using lubes is also ok with cock ring. Water based lubricants are best.
